Make sure you don't have any partitions with a type of "linux" 
that aren't formatted.

RH7 seems to _try_ to mount all Linux partitions it can find to
see if they are eligible for upgrade.  If the mount fails for
some reason the update aborts.  (check all your partitions)

The other option is to try a newer BSware with the updated
install program.  (no guarantees!) That was updated the week 
after I made the 15 copies for the computer club.   :-(

Of course the BSware web page says you'll have to wait until 
at least Feb. 20'th to buy any new CD's.  Something about me 
being out of town until then.  Guess that explains the 80 
degree temperature I noticed today!  ;-)
